I had this bra in a 34FF when I was smaller and loved it. So I jumped at this bigger size when I found it available.

Appearance? Beautiful. The eyelash lace at the top of the cups and the cutout gore are so special. And the coral color is lovely.

Fit? Noooooo! *dramatically shakes fists in the air* Apparently this is one of those bras that fit great in a smaller size, and didn't work at all in a larger range (for me at least. Your mileage may vary. My shape may have changed also, wasn't aware of that kind of thing until recently). The measurements looked workable ... if not perfect, but the cups are way too wide and shallow for me. It feels like it comes straight up from the underwire rather than being boob-shaped. The gore is too high for my close set breasts and rests on top of them instead of tacking. The top edge of the cup sticks out and creates a visible ridge under clothing. The band is super tight for a 34 and fits much more like a 32 (I was aware of this and it fits me fine in the band but if you are really a 34 you'll need to go up to a 36).
I'll be listing this bra eventually, once I stop making angry faces and googly eyes at it.

Very open on top. Gorgeous coral color, and skinny straps! A rarity in this size range.

This is the first Masquerade bra that I've tried, and I'm quite pleased with it. When it fit properly (I bought it when I was 10 pounds heavier) it was a stunner, and I enjoyed the ROUNDED, uplifted shape that it gave. It's more of a demi bra, as I found that my boobs weren't completely covered. This made it a great choice for low-cut and sweetheart necklines--or if I just felt like showing off some fantastic cleavage, which this bra gives. It's a very attractive, sexy bra, and it features a lovely satin finish, as well as a gorgeous lace overlay across the padded cups.

My only qualm with the bra is that the THIN straps can slip from time to time, even after being adjusted. I've never had this problem before with other bras, so I just thought it might be worth mentioning. Overall, Anise is a lovely addition to the drawer.
